Any recommendation for the following:

DC5 with exhaust and induction kit. 2-3 trackdays a year rest all road use.

Currently using Motul 8100v 5-40w fully synthetic and HAMP filter, Honda MTF and god knows what brake fluid as it was done just before i bought the car!!

so:

Engine oil
Gearbox oil
Brake fluid a 5.1 maybe or........?

Thanks in advance!!!

The Motul is a good oil, if you want to up grade then look at an ester based synthetic such as the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300v and the Gulf Comp here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

For the gearbox either the Amsoil MTF or the Redline MTL here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx

Brake fluid, expensive but very very good is the Motul RBF600 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-450-brake-fluid.aspx If you dont want to spend that kind of money then the Motul Dot5.1

thread revival for 2010 \/

what do you think of Mobil 1 New Life 0W/40 Oil?

would it be OK for my teg?

or castrol edge sport 0W/40 ?

 

[oilman]

They're both fine, but for about the same money you can get one of the ester based 5w-40s that are the next step up

 

[kimi]

Hi,

I have 02 dc5 with CAI and Mugen ecu. I use to buy Honda 5W 40 for 115 euros 5L, Now I shifted to Liqui Moli 0W 40. Costs 50 euro 5L.
What about the experience of driving: I didnt fill any difference between honda oil and liqui moil. Also my mechanic told me I can use this new oil for 10k km. Honda I use to change for every 2.5-3k km.

Also does the oil give HP? I have seen this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49kETjPZP9Y
The evo 6 shows 10KW difference between different oils.

What Oil u recommend to use? I am using my car for daily drive and drag sometimes.

Cheers

Hi David

Personally I don't like liqui moly as they are mainly an additive company and have made a lot of unproven claims with their additives (as pretty much all additive companies have). I don't have a lot of faith in their oils, as what I read about the oils seems to be linked to their additives.

A good 5w-40 from a reputable company is a better choice.

Thank you very much for your advise Tim.

Simon,

Since having my DC5 k-pro'd, the oil temp has risen to around 85-90 degrees celsius under normal driving conditions (a rise of 5 degrees ish) and easily gets above the 100 mark when hooning it. Currently i'm using Pro S 5w/40. Should I upgrade to the 10w/50 or will the 5w/40 be ok still?

Temp's are taken from the oil filter and read on a Defi gauge, so about as accurate as they come

Cheers
Rob

 

[oilman]

I would stick with the 5w-40, its good to run around at 130degc all day long without breaking a sweat.

Cheers

Guy

 

[Rob84]

thanks for the reply Guy. Good job you said that as the pro S in it is only 5 weeks/1000 miles old

Hi,

I am just about to do an oil change on my Teg and thought i would check out this forum for advice and came across this thread.

After ordering the service pack from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/product-f...ra/PETROL/integra/74940/product-finder-2.aspx i was confident in having the correct oil. Now i am left a bit confused as the oilman from Opie here, seems to suggest we use 5-40w rather then the 0-30w that it advises on the website.

Should i be sending it back or will i be all right?

Liam.

Road use with "good intentions" of doing a track day before next change.

 

[oilman]

The problem is that the service packs are based on a database of standard recommendations, rather than what me or Guy would suggest based on experience. Hondas aren't very fussy with oil, most can use anything between a 0w-30 and 10w-40 happily and a lot of the newer ones are often recommended to use something as thin as a 0w-20. To make a 0w-30, good quality basestocks need to be used, so the oil is a good one and will be fine for the car. You are welcome to swap it for another oil if you want, just follow the returns procedure on teh website
